Don't Say Good-bye



You have my heart you have my prayers

You have me with you when you go

For where you are then I am there

And you can know I love you so.



The world may grow and time may go

If people are just who they seem

Or maybe we just wish it so

Then some do live within a dream.



And if you go and I'm alone

You need to know that I am yours

And yes I know that you will own

Much more of life than at my doors.



Yet I will wait here patiently

In silent wonder at your life

And hope that you remember me.

For if you do then I'll be rife



With love and thoughts of you within

My yearning will then be worthwhile

And I shall think of you again

Each time I think of your great smile.



So turn and go with no good-bye

For this is not forever dear

As that would only make me cry

And soon we'll be together here.



When you return to me my love

And when I see your wondrous face

I'll know that everything above

Has been put rightly in its place.
